TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a 12-membered ring macrolide compound useful as a pharmaceutical agent, a method for producing the same, and use of the same.

BACKGROUND ART

Conventionally, compounds having cytotoxicity have been used as antitumor agents, and a lot of screenings carrying out using cytotoxicity as an index. As a result, since most of the conventional antitumor agents affect cancer cells and, at the same time, normal tissues with active cell proliferation, for example, the bone marrow and intestine epithelium, QOL of patients is not sufficiently improved.

Further, under existing circumstances, antitumor agents have come to have a rather beneficial effect on treating leukemia, but are not necessarily effective for solid tumors. Therefore, antitumor agents that are effective for solid tumors and are highly safe have been strongly demanded.

Fermentation products of microorganisms have been screened mainly using cytotoxicity in vitro as an index, in order to use these products as antitumor agents. As a result, many cytotoxic compounds have been discovered. However, most of the compounds have been confirmed to show cytotoxic activities only in vitro, and few compounds have been found to have an antitumor activities in vivo. Furthermore, very few compounds exhibit efficacy against solid cancers.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

An object of the present invention is to discover compounds that show antitumor activities not only in vitro but also in vivo, and have antitumor activities on solid cancers from fermentation products of microorganism, or their derivatives.

It is considered that tumorgenesis of normal cells mutations of a gene in the cell occurs so that an abnormal gene is expressed. In this situation, the present inventors have conducted extensive studies, based on the assumption that alteration of gene expression in tumor cells can cause inhibition of proliferation of tumor cells, namely, proliferation of tumor cells can be inhibited by, for example, changing the gene of ongocene or tumor suppressor gene, or changing the gene expression of a gene involved in cell cycle. The present inventors have screened fermentation products of various microorganisms and their derivatives using VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) production by U251 cells under hypoxic stimulation as an index, in the expectation that compounds which alter gene expression, in particular, compounds which inhibit VEGF production under low hypoxic condition, inhibit angiogenesis by tumors and, furthermore, exhibit antitumor activity against solid cancers. As a result, the present inventors have discovered novel physiologically active substances, a 12-membered ring macrolide compound, named 11107, and its analogues, which inhibit VEGF production under low hypoxic condition in vitro and, further, inhibit proliferation of solid cancer cells in vivo.

As a result of further extensive studies, the present inventors have found that, among the 11107 analogues, 6-deoxy 11107D, in which the hydroxyl group of 11107D at the 6-position is replaced by a hydrogen, and compounds obtained by chemical modification of the 6-deoxy 11107D (hereinafter the compounds are referred to as “6-deoxy 11107D derivatives”) are stable in an aqueous solution, and that these derivatives not only inherit the characteristics of stability from of 11107D, but also inhibit proliferation of solid tumor cells more potently in vivo experiments. These findings have led to the accomplishment of the present invention.

Given as a related art, most structurally similar to the compound of the present invention is FD-895, which is a 12-membered ring macrolide compound (JP-A-04-352783) represented by the formula (XIV):

The above-described gazette discloses that FD-895 has cytotoxic activity in vitro against P388 mouse leukemia cells, L-1210 mouse leukemia cells, and HL-60 human leukemia cells in a RPM-1640 culture medium (Column No. 6, Table 2 of the gazette). However, it is reported that FD-895 did not show antitumor activity in an in vivo experiment using P388 mouse leukemia cells (Seki-Asano M. et al., Antibiotics, 47, 1395-1401, 1994).

Furthermore, as described later, since FD-895 is instable in an aqueous solution, it is expected to be inappropriate to mix the compound with an infusion solution upon administered. Therefore, FD-895 does not have sufficient qualities as an antitumor agent.

Therefore, the present invention relates to:

Among them, the above-described compound of the formula (I-a) is preferable, and the compound of the formula (I-b) is more preferable, and the compound of the formula (I-c) is particularly preferable. Further, the compound of the formula (I), wherein R¹⁶ is a hydroxyl group, is a compound exhibiting particularly excellent stability in an aqueous solution.

Examples of the protective group include 1-ethoxyethyl, tetrahydropyranyl, 1-methyl-1-methoxyethyl, 1-(2-chloroethoxy)ethyl, 1-methoxycyclohexyl, 4-methoxytetrahydropyranyl, 4-methoxytetrahydrothiopyranyl, 4-methoxytetrahydrothiopyranyl-S,S-dioxide, methoxymethyl, methylthiomethyl, methoxyethoxymethyl, trichloroethoxymethyl, trimethylsilylethyl, trimethylsilylethoxymethyl, tert-butyldimethylsilyl, triethylsilyl, diethylisopropylsilyl, trimethylsilyl, triisopropylsilyl, methyl-di-tert-butylsilyl, diphenylmethylsilyl, benzyl, p-methoxybenzyl, p-methylbenzyl, p-nitrobenzyl, p-chlorobenzyl and triphenylmethyl. All or part of hydroxyl groups can be appropriately protected by these protective groups.

For example, each derivative in which a hydroxyl group is protected by 1-ethoxyethyl, tetrahydropyranyl, 1-methoxycyclohexyl, 4-methoxytetrahydropyranyl 4-methoxytetrahydrothiopyranyl or 4-methoxytetrahydrothiopyranyl-S,S-dioxide can be synthesized by treating 6-deoxy 11107D with a corresponding vinyl ether such as ethyl vinyl ether or dihydropyran in the presence of an acid. As the acid, general organic acids such as pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS), p-toluenesulfonic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid or methanesulfonic acid, for example, and general inorganic acids such as hydrogen chloride, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, for example are used. Preferably, for example, pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS), p-toluenesulfonic acid and camphorsulfonic acid are used. Although there are no specific limitations to the solvent used for the reaction, an inert solvent which can not easily react with a starting material is desirable. Examples of such solvents include ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, diiso-propyl ether, dioxane and dimethoxyethane; halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and 1,2-dichloroethane; hydrocarbons such as hexane, benzene and toluene; ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone; nitriles such as acetonitrile; amides such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methyl-2-pyridone and hexamethylphosphoramide; and sulfoxides such as dimethyl sulfoxide. Preferably, for example, dichloromethane, chloroform and tetrahydrofuran are used. The reaction time is 10 minutes to five days, and preferably one to two days. The reaction temperature is −78° C. to a reflux temperature, and preferably room temperature. The amounts of vinyl ether and the acid used for the reaction are 1 to 200 equivalents and 0.05 to 2 equivalents, respectively, and preferably 30 to 50 equivalents and 0.1 to 0.3 equivalent, respectively, to 6-deoxy 11107D.

Examples of other protective groups include methoxymethyl, methylthiomethyl, methoxyethoxymethyl, trichloroethoxymethyl, trimethylsilylethyl, trimethylsilylethoxymethyl, tert-butyldimethylsilyl, triethylsilyl, trimethylsilyl, diethylisopropylsilyl, triisopropylsilyl, tert-butyldimethylsilyl, diphenylmethylsilyl, benzyl, p-methoxybenzyl, p-methylbenzyl, p-nitrobenzyl, p-chlorobenzyl and triphenyl methyl. A derivative in which the hydroxyl group is protected by these protective groups can be synthesized by reacting a starting material with a chloride, bromide or trifluoromethanesulfonate of the respective protective group in the presence of a base. As the base, a general organic base or inorganic base is used. Examples of the organic base include aromatic bases such as imidazole, 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine (which is synonymous with 4-dimethylaminopyridine, N,N-dimethylaminopyridine and dimethylaminopyridine used in this specification), pyridine, 2,6-lutidine and collidine; tertiary amines such as N-methylpiperidine, N-methylpyrrolidine, triethylamine, trimethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, cyclohexyldimethylamine, N-methylmorpholine and 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene; secondary amines such as diisobutylamine and dicyclohexylamine; alkyl lithium such as methyl lithium and butyl lithium; and metal alkoxides such as sodium methoxide and sodium ethoxide. Examples of the inorganic base include alkali metal hydrides such as sodium hydride and potassium hydride; alkaline earth metal hydrides such as calcium hydride; alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide; alkali metal carbonates such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate and cesium carbonate; and alkali metal hydrogencarbonates such as sodium hydrogen carbonate. As examples of the preferable base used for protecting the hydroxyl group with a silyl protective group are aromatic bases such as imidazole, 4-dimethylaminopyridine and tertiary amines such as triethylamine. Although there are no specific limitations to the solvent used for the reaction, a solvent which can not easily react with the starting material is desirable. Examples of such solvents are the above-described inert solvents, of which preferred examples are tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane and N,N-dimethylformamide. The reaction time is 10 minutes to three days, and preferably one to two days. The reaction temperature is −78° C. to a reflux temperature, and preferably −10° C. to 50° C. The amounts of the chloride, bromide or trifluoromethanesulfonate and the base used for the reaction are 1 to 20 equivalents and 0.5 to 30 equivalents, respectively, and preferably 1 to 15 equivalents and 0.5 to 20 equivalents, respectively, to 6-deoxy 11107D.

The hydroxyl group(s) of 6-deoxy 11107D can be selectively protected by selecting the reagent used for protecting the hydroxyl group(s) and the equivalence thereof. For Example, a compound in which the hydroxyl groups at the 3-position and the 21-position are selectively protected can be obtained by carrying out the reaction at room temperature using chlorotriethylsilane, triethylamine and 4-dimethylaminopyridine in dichloromethane, or tert-butylchlorodimethylsilane and imidazole in N,N-dimethylformamide. In this procedure, for example, the hydroxyl group at the 3-position can be preferentially protected by limiting the equivalence of chlorotriethylsilane or tert-butylchlorodimethylsilane. Further, after protecting two or three of the four hydroxyl groups by silyl groups, the remaining two or one hydroxyl groups can be protected by the above-described ethoxyethyl groups or the like.

The step A2 is a step of preparing the compound of the formula (IIA). This step is carried out by converting the acetoxy group of the compound of the formula (IA) into the hydroxyl group by treating a base in an inert solvent.

These solvents can be used in a mixture of two or more. Preferable example of the solvent is alcoholic solvent, or a mixture of an alcohol and a halogen solvent. The reaction time is 10 minutes to five days, and preferably 30 minutes to one day. The reaction temperature is −78° C. to a reflux temperature, and preferably room temperature. The amount of the base used for the reaction is 1 to 10 equivalents, and preferably 2 to 5 equivalents, to the compound of the formula (IA).

The step A3 is a step of preparing the compound of the formula (IIIA). This step is carried out by treating the hydroxyl group of the compound of the formula (IIA) with a chloroformate derivative or carbonyldiimidazole in the presence of a base. Examples of the chloroformate derivative include 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate, phenyl chloroformate, 4-chlorophenyl chloroformate, 4-bromophenyl chloroformate and 2,4-dinitrophenyl chloroformate. Examples of the base include the above-described organic bases and inorganic bases. Preferably, for example, diisopropylethylamine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, triethylamine, pyridine, 2,6-lutidine and sodium hydride are used. Although there are no specific limitations to the solvent used for the reaction, a solvent that does not easily react with the starting material is desirable. Examples of such solvents are the above-described inert solvents, of which, for example, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane and N,N-dimethylformamide are preferably used. The amounts of the chloroformate derivative and the base used for the reaction are 1 to 10 equivalents and 1 to 20 equivalents, respectively, and preferably 1 to 5 equivalents and 1 to 10 equivalents, respectively, to the compound of the formula (IIA). The reaction time is 10 minutes to 30 hours, and preferably one to four hours. The reaction temperature is −78° C. to a reflux temperature, and preferably −10° C. to 50° C.

With regard to the hydroxyl compound of the formula (IA), in which one to three of OR^(3A), OR^(6A), OR^(16A) and OR^(21A) are not protected in the step A1, the hydroxyl group can be converted into a carbonate group by the step A3. Specifically, by treating the compound with a base and a chloroformate derivative in equivalents corresponding to the number of hydroxyl groups to be converted into carbonate groups, the hydroxyl groups other than the hydroxyl group at the 7-position of the compound (IA) can be converted into carbonate groups, as in the case of the hydroxyl group at the 7-position.

The step A4 is a step of preparing the compound of the formula (IVA). This step is carried out by treating the carbonate in the compound of the formula (IIIA) with an amine (R^(N1)R^(N2)H) that can form a desired compound of the formula (I) in an inert solvent in the presence of a base, or with the amine alone.

The reaction time is 10 minutes to 30 hours, and preferably one to two hours. The reaction temperature is −78° C. to a reflux temperature, and preferably −10° C. to 50° C.

The compound of the formula (IVA) can also be prepared by treating the compound of the formula (IIA) with an isocyanate in an inert solvent in the presence of a base and/or cuprous chloride. Although there are no limitations to the isocyanate, ethyl isocyanate, methyl isocyanate, or phenyl isocyanate can be illustrated by an example. Examples of the base are the above-described organic bases and inorganic bases, of which, for example, diisopropylethylamine, dimethylaminopyridine, triethylamine, pyridine, 2,6-lutidine and sodium hydride are preferably used.

This step is carried out by subjecting the urethane derivative of the formula (IVA) to deprotection treatment in an inert solvent in the manner as described below. The reaction for deprotecting the protective group of the hydroxyl group, which varies depending on the type of the protective group, is carried out by a method well known in the synthetic organic chemistry.

The step B1 is a step of synthesizing the compound of the formula (IB) by using an isothiocyanate or a thiocarbamoyl chloride instead of the isocyanate. This step is carried out by treating the compound of the formula (IIA) with an isothiocyanate or a thiocarbamoyl chloride in an inert solvent in the presence of a base or bis(tributyltin)oxide.

Further, by carrying out only the step A5, a compound subjected only to alkylation can be obtained. The step C3 can be carried out by applying the reaction conditions of the step A2, step A3, step A4 and step A5.

In the formulas, R^(3x), R^(16x) and R^(21x) are the same as defined above; and R^(3f′), R^(7f′), R^(16f′) and R^(21′) independently represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group.

Also, an ether derivative represented by the formula (IIC′) in which the hydroxyl group at the 7-position is alkylated can be obtained by subjecting the compound of the formula (IIA) to the step C2 followed by the step A5 in the same manner as described above.

Test Example 1

Construction of a Reporter System for Screening a Compound Inhibiting VEGF Transcription

In order to prepare a reporter system in which transcription from a VEGF promoter is reflected, a VEGF promoter sequence was cloned and inserted into a placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) vector to construct a reporter vector.

In order to obtain a promoter region of human VEGF, a VEGF genome was cloned from a phage library. Based on VEGF cDNA (GenBank accession number: X62568), a PCR primer in the sequence described as SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 2 was designed to conduct PCR, thereby obtaining about a fragment of 340 bp. A human genomic phage library (human genomic library, Clontech) was screened using this fragment as a probe to obtain pUC18-VEGFA containing a VEGF5′ franking region of about 5.4 kb. This pUC18-VEGFA was cut with Kpn I/Nhe I to obtain a VEGF promoter region of about 2.3 kb, and the region was inserted into the multicloning site Kpn I/Nhe I of the placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) reporter vector (Goto et al., Mol. Pharmacol., 49, 860-873, 1996) to construct a VEGF-PLAP vector.

The above-described VEGF-PLAP vector was introduced into U251 cells cultured in a Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (DMEM, manufactured by Sigma Co.), and cultured in the presence of 1 mg/mL G418 (Merck & Co., Inc.) to establish a G418-resistant stable clone (U251/1-8 cells).

As in a report by Minchenko et al. (Cell. Mol. Biol. Res., 40, 35-39, 1994), U251/1-8 cells were confirmed to be a reporter system which secretes PLAP into a culture medium under hypoxic conditions (2% O₂ incubator), and in which transcription from a VEGF promoter is reflected. A compound inhibiting VEGF production induced by hypoxic stimulation was screened using this clone.

In order to eliminate influence of the alkali phosphatase in the serum, the U251/1-8 cells were washed with a sufficient amount of PBS (Phosphate buffered saline) twice, and treated at 65° C. for 20 minutes to inactivate the alkaline phosphatase in the serum. 4×10⁴ cells/180 μL per well of the cells diluted in the DMEM culture medium containing 10% of this serum were plated in a 96-well plate.

The cells were cultured in a CO₂ incubator (5% CO₂) at 37° C. overnight, and 20 μL of the above-described culture solution containing the test compound at threefold serial dilutions was added. Subsequently, the cells were cultured in hypoxic (2% O₂) incubator for 18 hours. To measure the PLAP activity in the culture supernatant liquid, 10 μL of the culture supernatant liquid was added to 50 μL of a 0.28 M Na₂CO₃—NaHCO₃ buffer solution (pH 10.0, 8.0 mM MgSO₄), and finally 50 μL of an alkaline phosphatase substrate (Lumistain, Genome Science Laboratories Co., Ltd.) was added thereto. After the reaction for one hour, chemiluminescence was detected using a microplate reader (PerkinElmer) to measure the PLAP activity as the alkaline phosphatase activity. The PLAP activity under normoxic conditions was defined as 0%, the PLAP activity of the cells when treated under hypoxic conditions was defined as 100%, and the concentration for inhibiting 50% of the PLAP activity was defined as the IC₅₀ value of PLAP. The IC₅₀ values of the 6-deoxy 11107D derivatives shown in examples were determined (n=2 to 3). The IC₅₀ values of the representative compounds are shown in Table 1.

Acquisition of a Mutant of Mer-11107

In the present invention, Streptomyces sp. Mer-11107 (depositary number: FERM BP-7812) was mutated with N-methyl-N′-nitroso-N-nitrosoguanidine in a Tris-maleate buffer solution (pH 6.0) (100 μg/mL, 28° C., one hour), and the strain was smeared on an yeast-malt agar culture medium to form spores. The resulting spores were collected, and a part of the spores were diluted and smeared on an yeast-malt agar culture solution to form colonies. Each cell as sampled from colonies, inoculated into a 15 mL-volume test tube containing 2 mL of a seed culture medium (glucose: 2%, soybean meal (Esusan meat, manufactured by Ajinomoto Co., Inc.): 1%, yeast extract (manufactured by Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd.): 0.5%, sodium chloride: 0.25% and calcium carbonate: 0.32%, pH 6.8), and cultured on a shaking culture apparatus at 25° C. for two days. Further, 0.5 mL of the seed culture solution (of which the remainder was frozen) was inoculated into a 15 mL-volume test tube containing 2 mL of a production culture medium (soluble starch: 7%, gluten meal: 0.8%, pharmamedia: 0.8% and calcium carbonate: 0.1%; pH 7.5), and the cells were cultured on a shaking culture apparatus at 25° C. for four days. The culture solution was extracted with ethyl acetate, and analyzed by TLC (Merck 5715, acetone:toluene=1:1, colored with phosphomolybdic acid) to select the strain A-1543, a strain in which a spot other than 11107B (Rf: about 0.5) appeared.

The culture solution prepared by the method of Example 2 (1.2 L) was separated into a filtrate and cells using a centrifuge. The supernatant liquid was extracted with ethyl acetate (1.2 L). The cells were extracted with acetone (500 mL), and the extract was filtrated to obtain an acetone extract.
